Ex-Rats forward Angelidis re-signs with Tampa Bay

Former Albany River Rats forward Mike Angelidis has been signed to a one-year, two-way contract extension, the Tampa Bay Lightning announced today.
Angelidis, 28, played most of last season with the Syracuse Crunch, registering 11 goals and 13 assists in 71 regular-season games for Tampa Bay’s AHL affiliate.

He added two goals and four assists in 18 games during the team’s run to the Calder Cup finals, which the Crunch lost in six games to the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Angelidis was part of the Tampa Bay affiliate that captured the Calder Cup in 2011-12, helping the Norfolk Admirals to the first AHL championship in franchise history with a 4-0 sweep over the Toronto Marlies.
